The Supreme Court on Thursday allowed the Delhi Police to arrest and interrogate in custody Amrapali group CMD Anil Sharma and two directors on a complaint that homebuyers of their various housing projects were duped of their funds.
The SC, which is seized of several pleas of homebuyers seeking possession of around 42,000 flats booked Amrapali projects, also ordered attachment of personal properties of the CMD and two directors — Shiv Priya and Ajay Kumar.
The trio, under detention of the UP Police and kept in a hotel at Noida since October 9 last year by the SC for not complying with its orders, was in for a shock when a Bench of justices Arun Mishra and UU Lalit ordered the arrest on a plea by Economic Offence Wing of Delhi Police saying that it wanted quiz them in a separate cheating case.
